Week 1 is in the books. It’s a perfect time to check in on both of Los Angeles’ NFL squads with our first-of-the-season roundtable, featuring Chargers beat writer Sam Fortier, Rams beat writer Vinny Bonsignore and the Kamenetzky Brothers.

The Q’s …

1. After Week 1, I feel (better/worse/the same) about the Rams.

Sam Fortier: The same. Chalk up the slow start against Oakland to sitting out Jared Goff and Todd Gurley in the preseason, but, man, the way the Rams ground down Jon Gruden’s squad as the game went on said less about that one game and more about their potential. There are a lot of factors at play, including how to win when you’re expected to and not as a sleeper pick, but the victory started validating the hype. Still, we’ve heard about how good this Rams team can be all offseason, so we shouldn’t get carried away when they display it on the field.
